PROBLEM SOLVED
for some reason my new nexus 4 charges on USB mode no matter what charger i use, now here is the weird part...
i have 2 motherboards, one from a previous nexus 4 and when i drop the motherboard into the phone without changing usb port or anything, it will show it is charging on AC for the proper chargers (Wall chargers).
can the motherboard really control the charging rate? i thought it would be a usb port problem, but nope, works fine on my older motherboard which has Carbon 4.3.1 , my newer one is running Carbon 4.4 , ill try to make a nandroid and flash another rom to check if its just rom (which wouldnt make much sense but whatevs).
any input, tips, or advice would be awesome
btw, im using the default battery option in the settings app to check if it is USB or AC , so if anyone knows any apps to confirm rate that would be cool too
UPDATE: tried CM 11, yep it was my rom (carbon 4.4) and or kernel (Faux U31), i wonder why though

yeah i've tried enabling fastcharge on faux but it doesnt seem to do anything really, something's probably up with carbon 4.4 its still new and the carbon team's server is down right now so there wont be new builds till atleast this weekend, i guess i can suck it up intill i figure out my problem its only charging which normally i only do while i sleep, if i switch to any other rom it has to be feature filled like carbon, carbon basically has a little bit of everything (before 4.4 update which broke compatibilty) thats why i like it.
EDIT: Redownloaded Carbon 4.4 (latest nightlty is 2/5/14 as of now) and i Didn't flash faux and AC works perfect... im slowly but surely solving my own problem, im gonna redownload faux and see if that is what is causing the USB speed chatting
Update: found the solution to my problem, it was faux kernel, but in the sense that if you leave fast charging on FORCE AC it won't do ****, it will actually then make everything charge at USB speed, so put it on disabled like I needed to do.
Mh but i had the same problem, but on stock!
It turned out that my ac to usb adapter was like too weak for the phone or whatever, amyways if i use the adapter of my panasonic digicam, it works just fine

Past 2 days my Nexus 4 is not charging via Car Charger, i have original Samsung Charger, i also have USB port. i tried the USB cable i receievd with Nexus 4 from LG. No Luck, i can only charge my Nexus 4 at home.
I checked my usb lead and Samsung Car Charger to charge my Backup phone Galaxy mini, it works fine. Gaalaxy mini charges but not my Nexus 4.
I was thinking it might be an issue from CM Kernel. i recently installed CM10.1 nightly 13/3/2013 it was working fine before going custom rom. I have used every single custom roms in the past, i had no problem with charging anywhere before.
so i returned back to stock today and it is the same not charging.
I can only charge at home, but i use it alot and i need to keep it on charge in the car too.
Help pls thank you
Lower amp car chargers can't charge the Nexus4 faster than it discharges. I have a 2 Amp charger that works.
Having the screen on full brigthness while using GPS drains the phone really fast!
Does your Nexus4 not charge at all or does it charge slower than it drains?
It might be the kernel, I am using a Samsung galaxy S3 usb cable with a usb port car charger and I do not have any problems charging my N4. I am on Baked ROM and Franco kernel.
it has nothing to do with my car chager cuz it was working fine before.

i did not have any problems before using the CM
as soon as i flashed CM10.1, this problem started. i changed back to stock and still same problem
I'm also having problems with charging my Nexus 4 in the car. I have charged my N4 everyday going to work for the last 3 months. But last week it stopped working I'm also running CM 10.1 nightlies since day one if that has any importance.
The car charger works with my old Nexus One
I have bought another car charger that works(verified with N1), but doesn't charge my N4. Both chargers support 1 Ampere.
I can charge my N4 with AC-adapters
I can also charge the N4 connected to my computer using USB.
Any ideas?
bumping this. any solutions? same boat here
I have same isdue, but not all the time. I noticed my N4 stops charging with my car charger, the original charger and the wireless charger when it comes too hot. (after playing a game for example)
The only way I found to make it charges again is waiting for it to get cooler and then replug the charger. I think it might be an hardware security that stops the charge when the battery is too hot because when my N4 has a normal temperature it charges normaly evdn on my 1A car charger
BIG bump here!! My N4 stopped charging in my car randomly around when 4.3 came out....!! Any ideas what's up?!? Annoooying......!
Just in case I drive a 2010 Prius.... Worked fine since the N4 was first released.

I must be doing something wrong, but can't figure out what
I wanted to enable fast charge, cause my device drains more battery than it charges, I installed the "fast charge" app from the play store, but it always says my kernel is unsupported.
I've already tried these kernels:
-franco (franco kernel updater)
-fugumod (fugumod updater)
-trinity (trinity kernel toolkit)
-faux (fauxClock)
-timur
and I've searched in each app for a place to switch it on but couldn't find it anywhere.
I'm running cyanogenmod 10.1
the tablet is rooted and unlocked.
anyone any idea what could be the problem?
thanks for your time!
Give NCX Kernel a go, I'm nearly 100% sure (99.9999%) that has fastcharge enabled.

so far, I've been unable to find a zip with that NCX kernel, so I could flash it, can you provide me with a link or something?
I only find .img files, and I'm unsure what I have to do with them :s
Don't waste your time. If you tread the reviews, your problem is common with that app. Download Trickster Mod and use that asp.
Also, fast charge isn't going to have any effect if you're plugged into an ac outlet.

Like najaboy said, fast charge has no effect using an ac charger. Only speeds up charging if your charging via USB.

Does fast charge via USB even exist for the nexus 7, because so far this seems like some sort of vapourware joke that doesn't exist.
My device is shot, the headphone jack has gone bad, and now regardless of what I do I will always get charging from USB. It won't connect to the PC, and won't power devices from an otg cable, I even made a fast charge usb cable that tricks the device into thinking its an ac power source..... It works with everything but this, so its safe to assume that if indeed there is no fast charge I will take great pleasure in smashing this to bits.
Has to be up there with the first generation Xbox 360 as one of the worst build quality devices ever made.

And even then only if the active USB device (e.g. powered hub) is also designed to not current clamp or fault-open at currents above 500 mA. It takes two to tango.
Even when it does work, it's nowhere near as fast as a 2A AC adapter, btw.
USB 3 can output 900mA

Any change to resolve this issue?
I have a 2A usb car charger, but is I use GPS programs (like waze) , battery drain in too high , and charging current is not enough.
Any Fast Charge supporting kernel could be the solution.
It worked very well in my previous Galaxy Nexus phone.
Any idea?

A kernel with fast charge is inapplicable to your situation. You simply need ausb cable that had the d+ and d- pins shorted.

I have a UK I9505 S4 rooted, but on stock kernel and rom.
I use the device in the car with a Pioneer AppRadio2 & ARLiberator that connects my phone via the Samsung MHL2.0 adapter.
The problem is that as the USB charge (2amp charge for AC simulation) goes through the MHL adapter the phone only ever sees it as USB charging and I cant charge the device faster than I drain it.
Does anyone know if any of the current kernels in development for the S4 have the Chad Froebel Fast Charging patch applied?
I would ask in the dev channel but forum restrictions say I cant as the right question in the right location because I am a new user *dumb*
not yet it's a new phone wait a month or 2 and this place would be full of wonderful choices
I have the same on my pc, the battery level even goes down if i play a game while connected to my pc. Not really related to this thread but just saying

that's because the phone is not charging fast enough on my s3 the charger is 1000mah while the usb charge is 475mah so fast charging made it go up to 900mah and ur problem is quite the same as him
Any news on this, sorry for resurrecting this old thread, but I am desperate for fast charge to be enabled when at work and I charge my phone whilst connected to my pc!

If you have the Snapdragon variant, ktoonsez kernel had fast charge enabled.

Thanks for letting me know I am running KT kernel now, my usb charge has increased from 450mah to 1000mah and charges quite quickly just via USB2.
The only down side of that is you have to disable fast charge in order to use file transfer or it as a modem
It works though, thank you again. Link here to anyone wanting it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2297379
I have finally switched the kernel on my UK Vodafone S4 to one that supports Fast Charge, the same one as above (Ktoonez).
I also switched to the wanamlite 1.4 rom for better all round performance!
In terms of charge rates I used a charge measure app to see what was going on and a standard USB delivered 450-470mA. When I plugged in my Samsung MHL 2.0 adapter to get HDMI out, that dropped to 300mA from the same source!
With fast charge enabled I can now get a full 1000mA with the MHL adapter plugged in, which was my main issue, so I am happy!
I just wish the Adam Kernel that comes with Wanam's roms supported fast charge switching as its an awesome kernel!
Hi All
I noticed that my charge time is very long even when i am on airplane mode ,, is there any way to enable fast charge or quick charge provided by qualc devices my device is (i9515 blackedition) rotted with stock firm ware and i know their is option called fast charge on note 4 so is their any option like that on s4 or even to enable quick charge 1.0 by qualc by using secret dialing code ... thanks in advance
Since I upgraded to 4.3, the charging time has incresed up to 8hrs. I flashed the latest rom 4.3Y but It didn't work. How can I fix this, please help. Thanks

I realize this isn't exactly a useful answer, but I've always noticed a slow charge with mine. Now on 4.3 it's even worse. Maybe it's just the norm.
Does anyone else think so?
Dont think so. Mine is charging w/o any issue. It should be the problem with the mini-usb socket on your N7 rather than 4.3.
what an usual charging time should be? I mean wall charger, all stock?

mine is about 2h30'
here is around 6 hours.. regardless of the usb cable or ac outlet. I read some other post where resoldering the usb socket on device helped. I am thinking though of sending it back if doesn't work properly from the start, it's only 2 weeks ago I bought it

Yes, it should be problem with mini usb socket.

Well maybe the ROM or the USB cable, try to charge with another cable.
Try to wipe Battery Stats (in recovery mode)
i already change the battery because of age (die, cannot be charge anymore)
a replacement came and my nexus 7 see the light of day again, well is me who see my nexus 7 light
but the problem of slow charging still remain.
can anybody give me a 100% solution for this accept replacing my nexus 7 with newer tablet?
if i monitor with ampere meter only 80mA - 460mA with different combination of cable and charger head.
poor me but i love this tablet and i refuse to let it die.
any help would be appreciated
BTW: USB port still working fine, i can copy paste custom rom via usb.
replace charging port with a new one

Okay this comes to my mind also. But is there any easier way like bypass the micro USB and charged the battery externally [emoji16]
I hope I still can find USB port parts in cheap price

What system are you running?
I got a Nexus 7 recently on stock Android 5.x that was unresponsive and took almost a day to fully charge and would even lose charge while being plugged in via USB. After installing TWRP and Omni 4.4, it charges much faster and doesn't lose charge as quickly. This doesn't have to be a hardware issue.
I agree with NovusDeus. It does not have to be a hardware problem. My understanding is that the Nexus 7 becomes really slow after Android 4.4. This is both running and charging. Android 5.x is supposed to be very bad.
I experienced the same problem as you. I finally gave up and decided to root it, since I read about some rooted roms that had much improved performance. The moment I completed the process, I had the performance of my original Nexus back, and it charged quickly, too.
